Legend has it that André Charlin invented a sound recording system that set a new standard for sound quality then and that remains unsurpassed today in order to better demonstrate the performance capacity of his celebrated hi-fi stereo system. He fabricated an "artificial head"- a replica of a human head with two microphones functioning as ears: stereo without mixing.

His recordings are unequalled still unequalled. The artistic direction has been entrusted to the renowned musicologist, critic and historian Carl de Nys.

André Charlin has been a sound engineer for all the major classical music labels: Emi, Erato, Discophiles français Ducretet Thompson etc.

Our site offers a selection of recordings that he himself has chosen and signed. His personal collections are some original masters that have been lost or damaged beyond repair.
